Motivational Interviewing and Nursing Students' Clinical Practice Outcomes

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative and person-centered counseling approach aimed at enhancing individuals' intrinsic motivation. Nursing students often experience stress, anxiety, and low self-efficacy during clinical practice. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on nursing students' attitudes toward clinical practice, anxiety levels, and perceptions of self-efficacy. The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled design, and the potential of motivational interviewing as an effective psychological intervention in nursing education will be evaluated.
